Down the Great River.

be credited the honor of having discovered
the true source of the Father OF Waters-a
small lake nam Ed In honor OF Its discoverer--
from which small stream flows into Lake
Itasca, which has been popularity co 1sidered
the fountain head of the Mississippi-has
published a very interesting book Of about 5ot
pages, givinga cursory account of his canoe
trip of nearly four months from Lake Glazier
to the jeLties. The hook is charming1y writ
ten in the form of a diary, noting the princi-
pal events Of the trip, emboiyiag vast
amount of valuable Information relative to
the river itselfand the country through which
IL passes: 1t should find its way into every
library, public and private, IN the north
west, as it will be valuable for reference.
Capt. Glazier made his trip il the sum mer
of 1881. and his impressions OF the various
points at which he halted, Coupled with a
forecast ofwhat they may become, is one o
the charms OF the work.
The book is hands omaly printed by Hub
bard Bros. of Philadelphia, and Is offered In
handsome binding for 81. A canvasser II

Bishop Gilbert tells good joke

the other a grip. sack, while on his
arm was his overcodt. A man
stepped up to him and solicitel job
of carrying some of his baggage. the

The stranger was inclined to be To-

Ice Boating.

Notwithstanding the flying snow
and the piercing wind. last Saturday
was a rare day for the exciting and
exhiliratlng spirit of ice boating,
and advantage was taken of it by
the owners of the several boats on
the lake. Ed. Harrison had out his
handsome new boat, the Viking,
with IL. P. Gallup as a passenger,
and Arthur Hubbard was accom-.
panied by Pet Brawley. Boats owned
by Parker Mcclure and Web Har-
mon and o. ID. Hoffman were also
out. Although there were some
drifts to be encountered. yet the ice
was in very good condition. and ex-
traordinary speed was attained. Mr..
Harrison is confident that at times
his boat reached fully mile min
ute, and the others nearly as rapid a
rate. The Viking is a splendid boat,
carrying large ail,-t too large for
such wind as prevailed. and even
with two reefs in it the boat was
propelled faster than either occu-
pant cares to ride again. There is
no winter sport that compares with
ice boating on breezy day over a
good course.

Dillon.

John Dillon, the famous comedian,
appeared before one of the best au.
diences ever assembled in the opera
house. on Saturday evening last, in
his neat comedy, "Wanted-the
EartE,' and from first to last kept
-the-ite+se- in a roar of laughter. Dill
Ion is jndescIibabIy and irresistably
funny in every attitude, movement
and intonatien, and the play itself is
as funny as the actor. The situa-
tions and lines which provoke laugh.
ter follow one another So rapidly that
one hasn't time to recover from one
side-ache before another succeeds it.
The entertainment was unques-
tionabIy the finest in real, artistic
merit ever witnessed in Sank Centre,
and IA repetition i'm the near future
is eminently desired. 1t goes with
out saying that Dillon is assured of
good audiences whenever he may ia
yor this village with his presence.
